@stroughtonsmith 100% agree. Love the look of this device and having colour is nice but I a little large for my taste.

The actual pen-to-tablet experience is a key aspect, so I ended up ordering the Supernote Manta.

Hasn't arrived yet but I managed to find a real artists/writers impression and it really convinced me.

Till now I've used my iPad mini for note taking, sketching out ideas and drawing. But I really miss the feeling of paper. Hopefully the manta lives up to expectations.

@siracusa the iOS folder is just for iOS specific areas. Everything otherwise is the same platforms supported by the original apis. It’s designed to be drop. I have a separate lib SwiftUIPlus that adds really convenient pieces but the backports always stick to the platforms and api of the original design.

@mattiem @siracusa Hey I'm the developer of SwiftUIBackports. I do indeed use the same approach, Dave and I discussed that approach when we first wrote about it. I have a lot more back ports since I started earlier, but this new lib has a bunch I haven't gotten around to, I'd love to get them contributed if you'd like to contribute? Great work, either way 👍

@simonbs replying in case its useful:

.onGeometryChange { geo in }

The other replies essentially cover this but thought I’d share my modifier since I’ve not seen it elsewhere.

I may regret starting this backport... TipKit!

Gonna require back porting some macros AND Predicate – assuming it's possible. May release this in stages with increasingly more complete implementations.

So far I have backing models, configurations and all result builders. Views will be the easy bit next, but Predicate, Rule and Event are gonna be challenging.

@Naxum yep!

FYI, this tool is not designed to generate AppStore icons!

Its purpose is to make Playground icons more recognisable and with a far larger set of SF Symbols (all of them!)

@bardi as a half Persian myself you’d think I’d understand Farsi but nope. Googled though haha.

I love Swift Playgrounds but the icons are so limited, I quickly lose track of my exploration

So I made an app. If this post gets enough likes, I’ll consider releasing it as a free app on macOS & iOS

Fyi you can drag the icon into other apps as well since it’s just drag and drop.

Took 2 nights to build, SwiftUI FTW! #iosdev #swiftlang #swiftui

Today I’m grateful for @shaps’s Media package. There’s a real lack of documentation on how to interact with users’ photo library in SwiftUI. This is sooo well done, I’m good. https://github.com/SwiftUI-Plus/Media
